Abstract: There is provided a heat exchange assembly for a battery system, the battery system comprising a plurality of battery cells and at least one electronic component, the heat exchange assembly comprising: a heat exchange plate comprising a first plate and a second plate arranged to face the first plate, the heat exchange plate being arranged to accommodate the plurality of battery cells on at least one of the first plate and the second plate in a first portion of the heat exchange plate and to accommodate the at least one electronic component on at least one of the first plate and the second plate in a second portion of the heat exchange plate, the heat exchange plate comprising further at least one first flow channel for accommodating a heat exchange fluid and formed between the first plate and the second plate in the first portion of the heat exchange plate.

Abstract: A heat exchange assembly for a battery system is provided. A heat exchange element extends along a first direction with at least one first channel and at least one second channel provided between the first and second surfaces, each extending along the first direction. At least one first opening is provided on the first surface, and at least one second opening is provided on the second surface. A fluid distribution member is mounted on the heat exchange element, comprising an inlet port for distributing fluid and an outlet port for distributing fluid out.

Abstract: This invention generally represents a folding and transforming furniture, such as a transforming tabletop and seating surface apparatus that stays clean and used indoors, outdoors, within vehicles, aircrafts, water vessels, for commercial and recreational purposes. The invention refers in particular to an automated assembly of folding tabletop surface, seating surfaces, covers, general frame and extension assembly embedded compactly within a substantially horizontal surface, and controlled by internet of things system, controllers and electrical circuits by receiving signals from embedded sensory equipment to activate electrically, pneumatically, hydraulically and gravity powered mechanisms.

Abstract: An abrasion-resistant material for the working face of a metallurgical furnace cooling element such as a stave cooler or a tuyere cooler having a body comprised of a first metal. The abrasion-resistant material comprises a macro-composite material including abrasion-resistant particles which are arranged in a substantially repeating, engineered configuration infiltrated with a matrix of a second metal, the particles having a hardness greater than that of the second metal. A cooling element for a metallurgical furnace has a body comprised of the first metal, the body having a facing layer comprising the abrasion-resistant material. A method comprises: positioning the engineered configuration of abrasion-resistant particles in a mold cavity, the engineered configuration located in an area of the mold cavity to define the facing layer; and introducing molten metal into the cavity, the molten metal comprising the first metal of the cooling element body.
